It's true and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
Every .2 seconds worldwide, someone's identity is stolen. Financial and personal information is only a click away for an enterprising hacker. Thankfully, security pros have a solution: Programming all apps to immediately hide whatever you have just entered on your tiny, error prone touchscreen with an asterisk or dot or some other bullshit. Experts believe this clever practice may prevent a theoretically existing amount of identity theft every year.

One flaw in this system is the password-revealing 'eyeball' button. An attacker who has physically subdued a legitimate user could reveal the user's password, assume their identity, and immediately fly to Sri Lanka and spend all of that person's remaining funds on Dogecoin. Technicians are investigating solutions to this issue, and are currently advising users of apps with this feature to only enter their passwords in a secure location after checking any possible hiding spots an intruder may be using.

Security and safety is always a top priority. Industry leaders are currently looking into even more ways to protect users, like requiring a minimum of 7 emojis in any password, passwords in iambic pentameter, or disposable blood sampling lancets.

I don't entirely disagree, there is certainly a need for an industry standard in this regard. Six Sigma can be an amazing tool to refine and improve standards, but in today's world of spiraling costs, is it really a sustainable practice w/r/t this particular field?

The whole identity theft phenomenon is absolutely wild to me. Is there any other developed country on earth other than the US where you can open a bank account, get a credit card or a loan without an ID check?

Sometimes I need my password somewhere else so I just change the input type from 'password' to 'text' in the browser dev console to remember what it was.

Also the concept of the individual has failed, we need to embrace modernity and allow anyone to use any account.

The cum is analyzed for freshness. If the cum is outside of the freshness window you will not be authenticated and the cum will be confiscated.
